on December 11, 2016 The protocol for “organizing an unauthorized rally” against Elena Masailo was drawn up after a meeting of residents of three houses on Internatsionalnaya Street in Ufa . Frightened residents went out into the street due to the fact that on November 25, near their houses on the territory of the inter-yard passage, a deep hole appeared, into which two parked cars fell. The authorities explained the failure with man-made reasons, but the residents themselves believe that this is due to the presence of karst voids under the city. During the meeting, residents demanded that the houses be recognized as emergency and urgently resettled. In response to this, immediately after the meeting, policemen came to the members of the initiative group and drew up a protocol against Elena Masailo.
